Pros and Cons of living and purchasing a home or investment property in a HOA (Home Owners Association)
PRO: When functioning as intended, the overall appearance of the neighborhood is well maintained which helps with property values and curb appeal.
CON: 1) There are mandatory assessments that may lead to foreclosure if not paid.
2) The effectiveness of the HOA is solely contingent upon the Board Members in place. Board Members are to enforce the governing documents, the rules all buyers acknowledge and accept when they purchase property within an HOA community. It’s never an issue until someone is called out for violating the rules. That is usually at the root of people’s bitterness towards HOA’s.
3) Another con is that there are more homeowners complaining about their HOA than there are volunteering to be on the Board or attending meetings. That can result in the same people holding positions for far too long.
*** AS A REAL ESTATE BROKER it's a good idea BEFORE making exterior changes or additions to submit to the Home Owners Association Board your plans. An example would be a room addition or purchasing a shed. A brochure or photo of the shed utilized, vinyl siding or metal SAMPLE and COLOR... Fencing is another example to submit a sample of the material you intend to install and exact location. This assures setbacks and distance are abided. A simple communication with the HOA is needed to keep good neighbors and the value of your investment to increase.

Prices and interest rates and rent are only going to keep increasing, regardless of what is going on with Ukraine/ Russia and what some people might think it'll have on the economy. We are not in a bubble. Here is one solid piece of evidence we won’t be caught under water in the house. When you add rental vacancies are down 32% this year, it’s even more clear to buy a home and now is the time to get locked in with a lender!
